Why the "existence" of viruses? Take the smallpox virus, it caused so much suffering to humans. This was a virus exclusive to humans. As viruses are parasites, they are completely unnecessary for anything on this planet, outside a cell
they can't reproduce, they get destroyed to simple chemical compounds.
Why did God create viruses? They only make life miserable. I am baffled with this question. Do you have an answer?
